Re: Time to Change the Oil.
Considering the amount of years, Vancouver and Edmonton really don't have much of a trade history.
As a matter of fact, they don't have the playoff history one would think either.
Doesn't mean anything, just a fluke of statistics..

Hard to imagine a better cautionary tale for those who think going into a tank will fix your franchise.
Three straight years of being the worst team in hockey, and today all they have to show for it is Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Adam Larsson.
And after 6 seasons, they're back at square one.
This is why I don't understand when people criticize the retool on the fly, as though its the stupidest idea for how to bring new talent into the lineup. Even if you accept all the faults of the Benning method, it can't possibly be stupider than deliberately aiming for 1st overall and winding up like the Oilers.

Re: Time to Change the Oil.
I think the Oilers are doing just fine these days. Not only is there luck involved in the draft lottery, but also in the draft year. The Oilers were terrible for some really putrid drafts, which meant they stayed terrible, until the good drafts came along.
I assume it's safe to put the "retool on the fly" to bed, chalk it up as a loss, and call this what it now clearly is? A full rebuild. There was nothing "on the fly" about our last couple seasons.
Looking ahead, I do think we're 1-2 good drafts away from starting the climb out of the basement. I could see us timing our rise nicely with a California decline. We're still going to be the worst Western Canadian team for some time, though.
